I am 46 years old and have been smoking for 30 years. I just need to do this and quit !!! I am afraid of failing and giving in and I just can't (I don't want to). I want my 25 year old daughter to be proud of me and hopefully one day it will encourage her to stop to. I don't know what else to say, I just really want to get through today!!!
